Inconsistent but she was reportedly unsuited by the return to fences when pulled up at Bangor recently and prior to that she went close over hurdles in a big field at Worcester (2m7f, good); strong claims if she's back on song now returned to hurdles.

Made underwhelming chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July but looked suited by step up in trip when close second over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; big player if first-time cheekpieces help her transfer that form to fences.

Still unexposed after only three hurdling starts but did not achieve a great deal when making the frame in two small-field events this spring (2m1f/1m7f) and probably needs to improve to overcome top weight on handicap debut.
